A vehicle communication system has at least one processor unit (), arranged in the vehicle, for controlling applications, a plurality of different data sources () which are connected to the processor unit (), and a plurality of operator consoles () which are connected to the processor unit (). Access rights with different degrees of priority to the applications are allocated to the individual operator consoles ().

Motor vehicle communication system and method for exchanging data in a motor vehicle

Method for addressing components of a first network, especially in the case of data bus systems in transport vehicles, in which each component is assigned a first address for the mutual communication within the network and the first addresses are stored in a central register, in which at least one particular component of the first network communicates with another network, this component, when dialling into the second network, is assigned a second address by the latter and, within the first network, addressing takes place on the basis of function-specific address components, identical function blocks of the components being addressed via identical function-specific address components.

Method for addressing network components

Networked vehicle communications system with front end unit, terminal which can be operated by a user and associated application. A vehicle communications system having a databus and at least one front end unit which is connected thereto and has a user-interface framework unit, having at least one terminal which can be operated by the user and is connected to the databus, and having at least one functionality which is implemented in the system and can be executed with the participation of the front end unit and of the terminal. The implemented functionality is divided into a part which communicates with the user-interface framework unit and has user-interface ends and into a functional component part which communicates with the user-interface end part on the one hand and with an application framework unit on the other. The user-interface end part is located in one front end unit, while the functional component part is also located there or in another front end unit or in a multi-purpose platform unit which is also connected to the databus.

Networked vehicle communications system with front end unit a terminal which can be operated by a user and a corresponding application

A vehicle communications system, in particular for a motor vehicle, is provided having a plurality of equipment units for transmitting, receiving, acquiring and/or processing data for executing applications. The equipment units are connected to a common data bus via associated hardware interfaces. The applications are assigned flexibly controllable functions, each function being respectively assigned a software interface for exchanging data with other software interfaces and/or hardware interfaces, and the functions being executed within any desired equipment unit.
